- Description
- View-Master 2D projector with its paper ephemera in the original box along with a box of View-Master colour slides in another box.The projector is brown metal with a small lens sticking out the front, a wide slot for the slides between the lens and the bulb, and a small housing with ventilation slats on top that can be removed to expose the light bulb and inner focussing lens. At the back of the projector is the brown power cord, a small white plastic power switch, and a metal screw attached to a rubber foot underneath that can be turned to adjust the height of the projector - attached to the screw is a paper price tag with a piece of string. Other items in the box with the projector are a user’s manual and various adverts for View-Master slides. The box has a deep black body and a white and silver lid. The box of View-Master slides contains 62 round slides in individual paper sleeves, a small green plastic-covered book on Alpine Wildflowers, and View-Master advertising pamphlets. The slides mostly pertain to tropical locations and National Parks throughout North America - all appear to have been purchased, rather than made by the Crosby family. The box has a black body and a shiny gold lid.

- Two matte grey metal boxes used to house 35mm slides. Both have hinged lids that latch closed with two latches on the front to either side of a central rectangular handle. The interiors of the boxes have slots for the slides built into the base. One box has a red and white paper adhesive label in the front right corner of the lid that has “I” written in black ink. On the front of the box between the right-hand latch and the handle is another red and white paper adhesive label that reads “INTRODUCTORY” in black ink. The second box has two different shaped red and white paper adhesive labels in the front right corner of the lid that read “NOVA SCOTIA PRAIRIES TREES QUIET PLACES” and “II” in black ink. Between the right-hand latch and the handle on the front of the box is a third red and white paper adhesive label that reads “NOVA SCOTIA PRAIRIES TREES QUIET PLACES” in blue ink. Underneath the handle is a badly faded manufacturer sticker. There is a small red ribbon tied to the handle. On the inside of the lid is a rectangular piece of paper adhered with a piece of clear tape - on the paper is typed “Hi handsome hunting man [/] Fire your little gun [/] Bang! Now the animal [/] is dead and dumb and done. [/] Nevermore to peep again, [/] Creep again, leap again [/] Eat or sleep or drink again! ][/] Oh - What Fun...” Also inside is a small tartan pouch filled with rice, most likely a weight.
